We’re cutting some salaries over 7 figures to try and preserve more jobs. Oh yeah, in totally unrelated news, we just signed that talking PBR can Pat McAfee to a $17 million a year contract.

So if Gundy was making millions, maybe start with instead of 4 million a yr you get 2-3? Would he say no? there isnt a huge number of options here to go to and are they going to hire people to do his job for less than millions?

now if he was making 10-15 and they offered 5 would that be a different question?

Have to save Mike Greenberg and Stephen A at all costs though ffs.

I have become to loathe ESPN sports shows. It's just all crap. Same formula... let's just manufacture an argument over something really important like who are the top 5 QBs of all time. Let's argue! On top of that, they just recycle their people in each show. I'll stick to Lebatard, although he's starting to water down his content.

 

[Cusefan69]

Yeah ESPN lost me a long time ago. To much schtick.

McAfee generates revenue.

 

[MSOrange]

Hmmm I would've started with the people who make a lot of money, but suck at their jobs instead of Jeff, but ok.

 

[MSOrange]

They have much worse than Max Kellerman, but $5 million per year for him???? Wow

 

[orangefog]

They could let go anyone doing SportsCenter making more than $100k. Does anyone tune in to watch Scott Van Pelt's opinion about anything? Can't anyone that just graduated from a credible broadcasting program deliver highlights?

I suppose the Kardashians do as well.

 

[MSOrange]

That's one I am disappointed to see go. I think Suzy has always been really good.

Being a dickhead pays off

I know I was stunned at what he was making

She mostly stayed out of the schtick. She actually was alright.

 

[Eric15]

Ugh how do you get rid of Suzy Kolber? I feel like she's one of those people like John Saunders who is/was so good at what they did in an understated way that they don't get enough recognition.

 

[Dcuse]

That's one I am disappointed to see go. I think Suzy has always been really good.

Love Suzy also. My question...how did Keyshawn Johnson get any job where you have to talk? Jay Williams is the only listenable person on the morning drivetime show on ESPN radio. Kellerman just talks too much.

 

[orangenauburn]

The few people who were actually good, are being released

 

[UpstateSM]

Lmaooo

 

[Wrinkle]

Kellerman was making $5mil a year. That is truly absurd
